Motherland Spice in North Ayrshire

Excellent food and friendly staff. The three course business lunch is great . We're regular customers for both dine and takeaway and have never had a bad meal. Very busy for dinner so book ahead.

Best I have ever tasted so welcoming

Good food, excellent value but insanely busy.

Visited Thursday lunch time delicious meal, lovely service, value for money. Be. back soom

My Mr's asked me to bring some spice in to our relationship, I left her tied to the bed and went round for a motherland, as always, was outstanding 👌 👏

Found this hidden gem by accident and so happy that we did food was amazing 3 course lunch menu for £11, very friendly staff. toilets were immaculate just wish we lived closer as it would be our local.

I have been here a few times with family to eat in and every time the food is superb, the atmosphere is great very vibrant and chatty yet still makes you feel relaxed, all staff are very friendly and hospitable nothing is too much trouble. I mostly order takeaway for collection and it is always as good quality and on time. Some of the best curries about, you won't be disappointed.

First time visiting this restaurant, delicious meal, excellent menu choice and very good service. Highly recommend ⭐👌

Dined here 19/9/2024 - never been before . We hadn’t booked and were a walk in - was really busy but the managed to fit us in. Friendly staff , lovely welcome and nice atmosphere . Decor and cleanliness top rating. Food was so fresh and tasty. And thoroughly enjoyed our meal , great value . Will definitely go again when down that way .

Best Indian food I've had in a long time Great value lunch and good choice

Great food and service and staff so helpful

First time we've ordered from Motherland Spice and very nice it was too - will order again.

We had amazing time, the atmosphere was brilliant service was same , the food was really good 👍

Really good food and friendly service

First visit. Food was delicious. Table a wee bit cramped but we managed

Two visits this month to this restaurant which was recommended to us. Food is lovely and fresh. Very good value. Friendly staff. Well worth the visit to sunny Saltcoats.

Usual high standards and quality of food from the Motherland, I can't rate the food any higher and we are so lucky to have this restaurant nearby.

We ordered a takeaway due to the numbers we were and came to collect it. The website order was easy and intuitive . Prices were very reasonable and the portion were all generous. Even the kids curry was a win! We ordered a family feast and it was sufficient for 5/6people . Overall a great place with quality food eating in or out. Staff were very friendly and accommodating despite we came to collect and all greeted us. Highly recommend !

Visited for the 1st time 26/08 and just wow!! Such a warm welcome when we arrived, staff very friendly and attentive. Decor and cleanliness 10/10. Food was outstanding, so fresh and cooked to perfection 👌 another 10/10. Very reasonably priced too. We will definitely be back and will highly recommend to others. Keep up the good work guys - everything was amazing 👏 🤩

Excellent as usual. Cosy, clean, efficient staff and we all had different Currys and all loved! Great value and a firm favourite! Thank you!

Fantastic food, great service in a clean and well kept environment. Located top end of Saltcoats with parking to the side. Great reputation and restaurant and takeaway service used by locals.

Service superb surroundings excellent food outstanding if you like Indian cuisine of the highest level this is it a must can’t recommend higher

Amazing food! I could not believe that in such a small place I would find such good indian food. Would go back to the town just for the food!

Collected a takeaway after phoning in the order. Ready when they said it would be. Complimentary poppadums and spiced onions. Food very good. Mixed pakora included haggis and fish which was a nice surprise. Food was tasty rather than just hot as I find at other places. Restaurant seemed bright and clean. Queue for tables so probably best to book if sitting in at weekends. Bought a gift card too.

I was genuinely very impressed with the quality of food last night. Every dish was excellent and value for money. We will be back.

Hidden gem , locals no how good this place is , and I also can say the food and service is outstanding

Food was lovely and still warm when it arrived.

We'll defiantly be back!! First visit today based on friends recommendations and boy they were right!! Great atmosphere and decor, fantastic friendly and fast service, amazingly tasty fresh food, large portions all rounded off with reasonable prices. A real gem, 10/10 would score you higher than 5 stars if I could. Thank you for a wonderful meal.

Best Indian restaurant for miles.

Have never sat in for food, but the takeaway meals are always outstanding! Best Indian restaurant I've found in North Ayrshire. Staff always super friendly, even when you're not sitting in.

Sadly the food had a strong burnt taste throughout that it was inedible and had to throw in the bin.

food was great thanks motherland spice.

Our first meal has now become a regular experience. I have travelled worldwide and I can't find anything negative to say ...first class food and service 👌

food was delicious thank you motherland spice

Food was amazing so so moist and soft overall experience was great but I asked for one haddock and it was burnt

Well unfortunately for us, tonight’s meal was unusually disappointing. Normally it’s a solid 8 out of 10 but tonight it was a 4 or a 5. £50 spent and not the value I expect.

The order was around 30mins late. The pakora was overcooked. the cheese and garlic nan was extremely substandard and cold. the rice was too dry. I'll make it myself next time.

Enjoyed a lovely lunch followed ny coffee. Tasty food, reasonably priced. Good table service from pleasant staff.

normally food is good but I ordered 2 rice's with my order and got 1 complained and nothing was resolved won't be in a rush to order again

Fresh and incredibly tasty. It's what I would expect at a high priced city center restaurant.

Amazing food and service top class friendly attentive staff highly recommend

the chicken korma and rice was absolutely delicious thank you motherland spice,well 👍✅

Great meal and fantastic value. Highly recommended!

1st class and hard to beat What a treat for all the family owners &Staff all well presented and polite nothing to much .

love this place always delivers before time it says and always piping hot

Easily the best Indian restaurant in the 3 towns.

Fantastic great food great service

First visit and will definitely be back. Nice atmosphere, food was amazing. Although the restaurant was very busy , with there being plenty staff we did wait long for service or serving.. Fantastic restaurant and very reasonably priced.

Not much spice. Very tomatoey for both. Don’t think it was worth nearly 30 quid. Won’t be using you again.

One of the best restaurants in the area

A very extensive menu! Starters were great , chicken chaat 9/10 . Lamb karahi main was tasty and lovely Naan bread. The Chicken tikka masala was the best ever!! 10/10! Friendly staff . A great place to eat and reasonably priced. Love it!

Food is delicious and service is really good.

2nd visit to eat here. The first visit was really good so thought we would try their buffet offering. We weren't disappointed by what was on offer. Plenty of choice both starters and main course. Quality was also really good. Only grumble was the time taken to replenish empty servers. Couple of times after a table had been up the fav of the night was empty and we had a wait for more. Understand they don't want waste but every table was occupied so holding back at that time? Would I go again ... definitely

My husband and I and another couple visited Motherland Spice and had a mixed experience. The food was 10/10, absolutely no complaints there. Quick service, hot food, and our table waitresses were so lovely and attentive. The atmosphere was good it was a busy Saturday night and we were sat at a booth which was plenty room. The experience had a severe dampener put on it by a particular member of staff, she was older, hair in a pony tail, with a serious attitude problem. We walked in (my friends had booked the table) and we stated we were in for a booking for 4, we were asked to sit and wait (no problem with that at all) but we were under the impression she had asked us to sit as she believed we were a walk in, so my friend simply stated “we have a table booked”. Well, the condescending, rude, patronising tone in which she spoke has no place in a hospitality environment. Her attitude was absolutely shocking and quite frankly, as a first time visitor to Motherland Spice, I was very disappointed. Hope she’s not there when I return.

the sauce was so salty I couldn't eat it I just cleaned the sauce off the chicken and had that along with the the nan bread

Can't thank use enough for making tonight a special night use went above and beyond and such a short notice 😂😂 Ur food was amazing as always and will continue to come back thanks again for tonight was much appreciated this why use win the awards use do u deserve it and more thanks again xx ❤️❤️🎁

The restaurant is spotlessly clean, bright and airy. The food was delicious, all cooked fresh and great value for money. I highly recommend this place.

food was delicious as always although it would have been better if it had no onions in it like I requested when ordering, it takes away from the enjoyment of it when u need to pick out things u don't like from your food.

I was visiting relatives in Scotland and they took us to this restaurant and it was the best Indian food I have ever had. The restaurant was spotless clean and the food was absolutely amazing. The atmosphere and staff were fabulous. I would rate this restaurant an11 out of 10

Simply outstanding flavour. Possibly the best curry I've ever had. Well recommended. Good service and a tasty chutney with the poppadoms.

Been several times and the food never disappoints...staff very friendly and nothing is too much trouble ....place is spotless

Lively atmosphere, delicious food, excellent service, good value for money

I highly recommend this restaurant. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, and the staff is friendly and attentive, making every visit a true pleasure. I’ve dined at Motherland Spice since they first opened and have never been disappointed – it’s truly a must-visit destination for any food lover.”

Excellent service at motherland spice today 👌 they were actually about to close just after lunch but let us in with the kids which was so nice of them food was excellent and service outstanding ❤️

Only of putting thing was........the telephone tone was VERY loud

Didn't go in but had take away. Great choice and loved it lots. Great friendly service.

Food excellent. Did not enjoy the Happy Birthday song played through the sound system. Very loud.

Great atmosphere, fantastic service 👏, food is amazing 👏 😀 🙌

The restaurant is clean and beautiful and the food is delicious and worth trying. The restaurant is Indian and Nepalese

Amazing food and staff are always brilliant

Excellent as always, did get a chicken pasanda rather than the butter chicken we ordered but it was still really nice

Bobski & his team are simply the best. Great starters, great mains & great breads & rice. Served by polite friendly staff in a spotlessly clean & tasteful restaurant. We all travel from Prestwick but it’s soooo worth it. See you soon guys

Food is to die for. Great service. Struggling to find onsite parking.

Absolutely love the food, service and atmosphere in this lovely restaurant. Would recommend to anyone looking for a nice reasonably priced Indian meal.

Good food and service from friendly staff, well worth a visit.

First visit and certainly won't be the last . Food delicious, staff friendly and welcoming. Would definitely recommend

Lovely, friendly service plus THE best food!

Beautiful food. Business lunch £10.95, extremely good value for money, portion sizes are generous and the flavours were fantastic, thoroughly enjoyed it and will definitely be back when visiting Saltcoats.

The Best Indian restaurant Love it 🍷😘

Really nice..My Mrs enjoyed & as per the time before was a really good meal she recommends gratefully 5* easy

I have been coming to Saltcoats my whole life and tonight was the first time I ate in motherland spice. BEST Indian food I’ve ever had . Service was excellent , staff offered advice on dishes and were all very friendly. All of the food we ate was excellent very flavoursome . We will definitely be back and recommend to others .

Best curries and experience I've ever had

My order was placed at 5:25 and arrived at 7:45. As the order hadn’t arrived after two hours I phoned the restaurant to ask where it was, and was told it was out for delivery. The driver left the restaurant at 7pm with my meal and didn’t arrive until 7:45. Unsurprisingly it was stone cold. Extremely disappointed not to be informed that I would have to wait so long.

Fantastic! Friendly, attentive staff. Excellent food, great atmosphere

we felt the food wasn't the usual quality. we ordered a byriani and got a different meal

An absolute must for curry lovers ,the food was amazing and great value for money.

Really friendly staff and the food was amazing! Busy busy place. Sitting in and takeaway. Would definitely recommend.

45 mins early, no problems whatsoever 10/10.

First time trying Motherland Spice, food is amazing and service was amazing, forgot a wee bit of our order and immediately sent it out again, first class, will use again

I brought my friend up to Scotland from Middlesbrough we went to motherland spice his word some of the best food he had ever ate I still get texts saying oooh the food in that motherland spice can't stop thinking about it and he's a good person for him to give it such good feedback not being a local should speak for itself

Best traditional Indian restaurant around personally. Takeaway tastes just amazing as eating in the restaurant. Fair for pricing of food also. Very happy :-)

Had dinner tonight as a family of 4…..all adults. Food was absolutely exceptional, service was professional and very friendly. We all had different mains and each one was excellent. Best Indian food in the West of Scotland without a doubt.

Lovely family meal great service

Probably the best Indian restaurant in the country. The quality of the food is nothing short of outstanding, the service is friendly, and value for money, can't be beaten. We have visited more than a few times, and it doesn't matter what we pick from the menu, it never fails to deliver. And naan bread....I thought I'd had delicious naans before, this place just kicks it up to a whole new level. Can't recommend highly enough!

Had a lovely lunch to celebrate my daughters birthday.

excellent service food was delicious 😋

Love Motherland Spice. Great team of staff, menu is a wee bit different to other places, food is incredible. Never had anything but an excellent meal.
